If you want to transport other people's controlled waste, or your own construction and demolition waste, you must register with the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) as a waste carrier. In Northern Ireland there is a two-tier registration system for waste carriers.

Controlled waste includes commercial, industrial and household waste, as well as hazardous waste. Most radioactive wastes and explosive wastes are controlled by other regulations.

How to register as a waste carrier or broker

All businesses can register as waste carriers including self-employed individuals, partnerships, companies or other types of organisation. You need to register even if carrying waste is not your main business activity or if you only carry waste occasionally.

If you do not register and you carry waste, you could be prosecuted.

Upper tier waste carriers

If you transport other people's controlled waste, or your own construction or demolition waste, you must register as an upper tier waste carrier unless you fall into one of the categories for lower tier waste carriers.

Lower tier waste carriers

You must register as a lower tier carrier if you only carry:

• animal by-products
• waste from mines and quarries
• waste from agricultural premises

You will also need to register as a lower tier carrier if you carry waste, and are:

• a waste collection, disposal or regulation authority
• a charity or voluntary organisation

Lower tier carriers are also known as 'specified persons'.

You also need to register as a lower tier carrier if you normally and regularly carry controlled waste produced by your own business.

Exemptions and exclusions from waste carrier registration

You do not need to register as a waste carrier if you:

• move waste between different places on your own site
• export waste by sea or air from the UK to outside the UK (however, you will need to register to transport waste to the port or airport)
• import waste from outside the UK into the UK, and the waste is landed in its final location (however, you will need to register to transport the waste anywhere by land, eg by train or lorry)
• are a ferry operator transporting waste-carrying vehicles
• operate vessels, aircraft, hovercraft, marine structures, floating containers or vehicles that carry waste and have a marine licence or marine licence exemption

If you want to transport controlled waste, you must register as a waste carrier with the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) and comply with your duty of care.

Upper tier registrations are valid for three years, unless your registration is revoked or withdrawn. Lower tier registration is currently free and lasts indefinitely, unless your registration is revoked or withdrawn. You can apply for registration as a:

• waste carrier and dealer
• waste carrier and broker

.

If you are not sure whether you need to register, you should check with NIEA.

Duty of care for waste carriers

You are responsible for making sure that the waste you carry is handled safely and legally. You must make sure that you only pass waste to someone who is authorised to take it. If you do not check and keep proof of this you could be held responsible if your waste is disposed of illegally - for example, by fly-tipping.

Make sure all waste carriers, brokers and dealers you pass waste on to are registered or exempt.

Use waste transfer or consignment notes

Whenever you accept waste from someone, or pass waste to someone, you must ensure that the transfer is covered by a waste transfer note (WTN). If the waste is classified as hazardous waste, you must complete a consignment note. You must keep copies of waste transfer notes for two years and consignment notes for three years.

Good practice for waste carriers

When you accept waste, ensure it is packaged correctly. If it isn't, ask the producer to repack it. Do not accept waste in leaking containers. Inspect waste when you accept it to check that the waste description on the waste transfer note is accurate.

Take your waste to a site with a suitable and valid pollution prevention and control permit, waste management licence or appropriate exemption. Make sure the site is authorised to receive your particular waste types. You should always ask the site manager to show you the original documents. Ask for a photocopy for your records.

If you suspect that the waste you are carrying has been handled illegally at any stage, report the possible offence to NIEA.

Waste brokers arrange for other businesses' controlled waste to be handled, transported, disposed of or recovered. Waste dealers buy waste from other businesses to sell on. This includes dealers who do not take physical possession of the waste.

Waste brokers include:

• businesses that buy and sell scrap metal and other recoverable materials, eg if you operate from a yard or act as a trader arranging for materials to be bought and sold
• businesses that arrange for waste disposal on behalf of another business or waste producer
• waste disposal operators or carriers that arrange the disposal or recovery of waste not covered by their own licence

A broker or dealer shares responsibility with the waste holders for managing the waste properly before and after it is transferred. Brokers and dealers are legally responsible for the proper handling and disposal of the waste.

Do I need to register as a waste broker or dealer?

If you deal in waste or arrange for someone else's waste to be disposed of or recovered, you usually need to register as a broker or dealer with the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA).

However, you do not need to register if you are:

• arranging for your own waste to be disposed of or recovered
• arranging for someone else's waste to be disposed of or recovered, and you are going to transport it as a registered waste carrier
• arranging for someone else's waste to be disposed of or recovered, and you are the operator of the authorised site where the waste is going
• only dealing with animal by-product waste - including catering waste
• only dealing with mining, quarrying or farming waste
• a charity or voluntary organisation
• a waste collection authority, waste disposal authority or waste regulation authority

Any business can register as a waste broker or dealer including self-employed individuals, partnerships, companies and other types of organisation. You still need to register if brokering or dealing in waste is not your main business activity or if you only do it occasionally. If you broker or deal in waste but are not registered, NIEA could take legal action against you.

If you arrange the collection, recycling, recovery or disposal of controlled waste on behalf of another person, or if you buy and sell waste, even without ever taking possession of or storing the waste, you must register as a waste broker or dealer with the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA).

Registrations are valid for three years. You can apply for registration as a:

• waste carrier and dealer
• waste carrier and broker

You can get application forms to register from NIEA - if you are not sure whether you need to register, check with NIEA.

Check if you need a waste management licence or exemption to store waste

If you store other people's waste on your own site you must be authorised to do so by a waste management licence.

If you already have a waste management licence or exemption, you do not need to register as a waste broker if you arrange for someone else's waste to be disposed of or stored on the site covered by the licence or exemption. If you arrange for someone else's waste to be sent to a site that is not covered by your licence or exemption, you must register as a waste broker.

Check the register of waste carriers, brokers and dealers

Make sure all waste carriers, brokers and dealers you pass waste on to are registered or exempt.

Use waste transfer or consignment notes

Whenever you accept waste from someone, or pass waste to someone, you must ensure that the transfer is covered by a waste transfer note or a hazardous waste consignment note. You must keep copies of waste transfer notes for two years and consignment notes for three years.

Good practice for waste brokers

Be aware of the nature of the waste you are dealing with and ensure that:

• the waste producer uses appropriate containment or packaging for the waste
• the waste is accurately described on the waste transfer note
• only registered waste carriers move the waste
• the waste is only disposed of or recovered at an appropriately licensed or exempt site
